Blog Tour: Sleepless in Manhattan by Sarah Morgan

Author: Sarah Morgan

Publisher: Harlequin

Date of publication: June 2016

Cool, calm and competent, events planner Paige Walker loves
a challenge. After a childhood spent in and out of hospitals, she’s now
determined to prove herself—and where better to take the world by storm than in
the exhilarating bustle of Manhattan? But when Paige is let go from the job she
loves, she must face her biggest challenge of all—going it alone.

Except launching her own events company is nothing compared
to hiding her outrageous crush on Jake Romano—her brother’s best friend, New
York’s most in-demand date, and the only man to break her heart. When Jake
offers Paige’s fledgling company a big chance, their still-sizzling chemistry
starts giving her sleepless nights. But can she convince the man who trusts no
one to take a chance on forever?

Sleepless in Manhattan has one of my favorite tropes in romance. The sister and the brother's best friend who have grown up together finally admit that they belong together. I was really looking forward to reading Paige and Jake's story. Unfortunately, I really didn't love this book as much as I wanted to.

For me, the pacing of the story was kind of slow. In the first hundred pages, not a lot happens. I didn't really buy into Jake and Paige together. Jake isn't into commitment. He is a jerk to Paige through most of the book. It got tiring after a while. Why would she pine for someone like that? Paige was also a bit too independent for my taste and made some really dumb decisions.

The one thing that I did like about the book was the friendship between the three women. Their relationship was fun and endearing. I liked Eva and Frankie the most and they almost make me want to read the other books in the series. Hopefully, their stories will be a bit more exciting, because this one was just really wasn't.

Romantic Times has described her as ‘a magician with words’
and nominated her books for their Reviewer’s Choice Awards and their ‘Top Pick’
slot. In 2012 Sarah received the prestigious RITA® Award from the Romance
Writers of America. She lives near London with her family.
